 10 stars! August 8, 2008

I LOVE this book and it's teachings. I feel as though I have been given a very precious gift and now use Eckhart's wisdom in many areas of my life. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
What more can be said? August 7, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
There are more reviews on this book then almost any other book on Amazon - and there is a good reason for that. People found something of value from reading this book and felt the need to share what they learned. The book does not break any new ground for the serious spiritual seeker - but it sure clears stuff up and makes some complicated ideas seem much easier to digest.
Eckhart does present and package the ideas that this book has in a newer and open way. The book is best read slowly over days, even weeks, so one can assimilate what is being said. The book will change some lives. The key is to read this book with an open mind and heart and allow the energy of this book to flow through you.
I cannot but repeat what others have said about it - however, I will add my own two cents worth and recommend it to others.
 What a quack! August 7, 2008

The highlight of this book starts on page 137. Tolle observes, "after two ducks get into a fight, which never lasts long, they will separate and float off in opposite directions." He continues the theme through page 138, telling us that ducks then flap there wings and get over it, suggesting that we all be more duck-like. Of course, then we would have to float, which would mean we'd all have to be made of wood, which means Tolle is really offering us hocus pocus psychology.
The problem is, obviously, we are not ducks. We have feelings and emotions. Tolle calls this our Pain-Body, as if feelings are a bad thing. If we could only recognize it and wish it away, we would all be better. He forgets that it is our emotion that separates us from ducks and makes us uniquely human. I can't imagine telling someone with a broken arm to just see the bone and wish it away. It is with great damage that books such as this make just such a suggestion with emotional and psychological pain. It creates a shame around mental and emotional suffering that only does harm for those with serious hurt.
We are not, and should not desire to be, ducks! Quack!
An outstanding overview of the moment we live in August 6, 2008

I found this book to be a great overview of the amazing moment we find ourselves in. Mr. Tolle provides an excellent view of the opportunity unfolding for humanity. For those ready to enter more deeply into the moment of now, I also highly recommend
Journey Into Now:Clear Guidance on the Path of Spiritual Awakening
and/or see an introduction to the teaching (same as that of Eckhart Tolle)at www.leonardjacobson.com
Consciousness Jog August 5, 2008

Eckhart Tolle's A NEW EARTH is both a spiritual lift and a mental jog. We miss too much in this life when we are not aware of transcending the ego and living more fully. Thanks for making it available on the Internet.
